(57) Electrical appliances comprising thermochromic inks in zones of high visibility for
the user are disclosed, as a mechanism to know by simple observation their thermal
state (cold or hot). Said electrical appliances correspond to any appliance that uses
electricity as a mechanism to generate useful thermal energy for either food processing
(sandwich maker, rice cooker, ovens, roasters) or home maintenance (iron, stove, among
others), and therefore during its use may reach a dangerous temperature for the physical
integrity of the persons handling it. Thermochromic and photochromic inks are applied
in zones of the electrical appliances, where the user may easily see the color change
during use, as in zones where there is no direct contact with food and wherein it
is appropriate to notice the possibility of burns by hot surfaces, which, depending
on the type of electrical appliance can be in upper or side surfaces of such appliances.
This system allows using safely electrical appliances showing variable temperature
during their manipulation and use, also achieving a greater useful life of the incorporated
thermochromic points due to their strategic localization.
